Asian twist on bluegrass music

I love stuff like this -- examples of Western music (both form and style) played with non-Western instruments, with their unique tuning, and traditions of being played with non-Western scales, and temperament.

The examples I'm more familiar with are various Ethiopian and African pop musics imitating American soul, funk, and jazz -- in the late 60's and 70's.

I know I've also heard a few Youtube clips here and there of traditional jazz tunes performed on traditional Japanese and Indian instruments. Which reminds me, some of George Harrison and The Beatle's inclusion of Indian music (and instruments) also kind of does the same thing for me.

Great stuff, would love to hear moar!
